southern meet ideas..

[lawrence-zs180]

couldn't work out if I should put this here or in the events section.. since its only ideas its going in here.

James (talkingcars) and I have been chatting about the idea of doing a run from a meet point to 'my' pub and then having a bbq on Saturday 23rd July.
There are several start points to chose from which I will post up a poll for..
1) Wisley Common (jct 10 M25/A3) 2) Godstone (jct 6 of M25/A22) 3) Compton (A3 south of Guildford) or possibly Liphook or Hindhead.
From there James can work a route out etc

There is also some talk on here about people staying in the area so when I have a free 5 mins I will find out the prices from the local camping and b+b places.

Its mental here at the min so I might be a bit slow on getting back on questions etc at the min.

Date prov set for Saturday 3rd September

Plus a Southampton/Portsmouth meeting point.

I can do a Fantastic Magical Mystery Tour, no charge, 10 miles of unspoilt countryside, only go pass walkers, who stare and point at 3 TY ZS's zooming by. Across a single span, rickety bridge thats got "Unsafe Bridge" on big signs either side. And we arrive shaken and stirred, ready for a nice drink and good food.

I was thinking about a Hampshire meet just this morning, at the empress blandings.

A run from Sussex to and around the new forest could be cool picking up people along the way, could run a long the downs, or at least stick to the B roads, I love driving back to Chichester from Southampton on those roads.

Or another idea, combine with the goodwood breakfast club, on the first sunday of the month, I believe some people go for a blast over the downs after that too.

Unsure on the date though as it's my dads birthdays, I better check ahead, incase he has got something planned, before I get to carried away.

I'm up for coming to that if I'm not working. I'm not far from Guildford.
Or if there's any Hampshire meets arranged.

Can I come in the F? lol

Empress Blandings pub is good, large car park, plus the owner doesn't mind keeping a few tables, if he knows numbers etc.

We are off to Brighton tomorrow, so passing Goodwood and just touching the edge of the Downs.

We are at the very early stages of planning the whole thing, it might be possible to meet at say Wisley, and then run down the A3.

Unfortunatly we are limited on dates this year as there are several other events that would dilute numbers. However it would be a wicked way to finish a night before so 1 to save in the memory banks for 2012.

23rd july ? isn't that the day before ZedTen at Duxford ?

Although i'm not local (anymore) to the proposed South meet, was born in Winchester, lived in Basingstoke, i have relatives in the Pompey area, so the South meet would've been ideal to get a visit in at the same time as a meet !!!

Perhaps a convoy up to ZedTen on the 24th !!!!

It is the day before the ZEDTEN, so that means I cant make the bbq..............
